US Politics Thread 2016-2020

I have a question

What is American Voices ?

A friend of mine, had posted a story made by this American Voices.

If it is an non-serious page, then I want read it.

Or maybe I will, to see what they have to tell the readers.

Since you fellas don't appear to intend to protect western civilization from Islam, we probably should. We'd probably be better off aligned with the Ruskies. Maybe if we pull out you'll wake up.

I think this may have got missed. This is a pretty big deal in US politics.

Cliven Bundy acquitted. Judge declares mistrial citing "Flagrant" Federal misconduct.

In April 2014, America was transfixed by an armed standoff in the Nevada desert. On one side was a collection of dangerous, out-of-control armed men who were deliberately provocative, prone to saying unhinged things in a single-minded quest to destroy their enemies, and who lied time and again to cover their misdeeds.

On the other side was Cliven Bundy.

So Russia helped against Clinton before and during the 2016 elections, but wanted to get caught? All to stir the water and to polarize the american people politically, at least that worked. Maybe someone will be sued, but it won't be Clinton.

"Defendants and their co-conspirators used their fictitious online personas to interfere with the 2016 U.S. presidential election. They engaged in operations primarily intended to communicate derogatory information about Hillary Clinton, to denigrate other candidates such as Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, and to support Bernie Sanders and then-candidate Donald Trump."

opinion, but worth reading:
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/17/o...ons-trump.html

"If there were any lingering doubts that Russia’s intervention was aimed at harming Hillary Clinton’s campaign and bolstering Donald Trump’s, an internal directive quoted in the indictment spells it out explicitly: “use any opportunity to criticize Hillary and the rest (except Sanders and Trump — we support them).”

"Friday’s indictment should serve as a reminder that Project Latkha didn’t merely aim to influence the outcome of the election, but also its tone, and Americans’ attitudes toward their own democratic institutions."

That obviously works well. Dividing people and introducing a rough tone..

I wonder where Russia elsewhere orchestrates people and politics.. most probably wherever possible. The internet sure makes it easier.

Bahahaha!

Da comrade Catfish! I was working to undermine Hillary every chance I got(still get), I must be a Russian implant. "Many miles to go before I sleep." It wasn't hard to discredit candidates like low energy Jeb Bush after he sees the will of the American people, and then condescendingly tells Trump that he can't do that during the debates(follow the will of the American people). Big oopsie Jeb. lol

I refer to Hillary as Mrs Santa Claus due to the red pants suit she wore for the last Trump debate

I'm so glad she lost I heard a rumor that voters were more worried about who she would've picked for the supreme court replacements than any other reason.

You do not see the catch 22, do you?
Putin knows bloody well what he's doing.

Has Trump finally fallen through the "Looking Glass"? He actually called a recorded interview he, himself, gave to the Sun UK "fake news"; the guy is so dishonest he no longer can keep his lies and deceit straight:


Trump denies he said something that he said on a tape everyone has heard --

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.66c62526baae



The more Trump goes on, the more it appears his style may be based on Nathan Thurm:

Trump said at NATO summit he now wanted 4% of GDP spent on defence.


German 4% of national GDP spend on defence would make German defence spendings 2x - 2.5x the Russian budget and almost as much as the Chinese budget.



Do you feel safer then, world?



He also brought the stunt to refer to his own statements on something as fake news later on.

The Queen Checking Her Watch While Waiting for Donald Trump Is a True Mood --

[Queen Elizabeth II looks at watch while waiting for Trump; thinks:]



"Hmm, five more minutes and I do believe I may be able to have him beheaded..."...

Russians probably pay $75 for a rifle while the west probably spends $800 for one so....

It would be interesting to know how historians will label this period, in which we live. I have a simple word for it: Insane.
It does not matter which kind of politics: Migration, defense spending, or the genius deal maker...

I guess one main lesson is already vanished: You can destroy things, reputation and trust in a second but to build the same you need decades

There's not a single person, living beyond their means, who likes to be suddenly forced to live within their means. There's also not a single person with people constantly reaching into their pockets who doesn't wish for zippers.

Some call it migration, others call in invasion.
